Comment on I once believed in America by lyncrain https://lyncrain.com/2018/03/01/i-once-believed-in-america/#comment-821
Fri, 09 Mar 2018 14:41:58 +0000http://lyncrain.com/?p=5218#comment-821I believe too. I refuse to give our present time dominion in my life. Reminds of a Dylan poem, Death Shall Have No Dominion is a good poem to add to your book.

And Death Shall Have No Dominion
Dylan Thomas

And death shall have no dominion.
Dead man naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan’t crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

I have been collecting favorites in my online blog at WDC for a very long time now. Hughes and Dylan were frequent additions.

My favorite line(s) are “But I laugh,/and eat well,” I laugh, I laugh! I’m not going to let them keep me down. And I also like “They’ll see how beautiful I am/and be ashamed -” We’re not quite there yet. But I keep hoping!

(I’m a mathematician in my “other life,” so Fibonacci numbers are really fun for me.) I love also the “cascading” feeling of following the form down the page. Like a raindrop falling into a pool. Lovely, thanks!
